Thank you.

Attention, students.

Election results are in

for Student Body Council.

Student body rep,

Raymond Barajas.

Treasurer, Misty Jenkins.

Secretary, Pamela Ferguson.

Vice President, Casey Price.

And your president...

it was a close one...

Cat Hardy!

Congratulations

to all our winners.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine. She

won fair and square.

Ah, congratulations.

You're not mad?

No!

Congratulations, silly.

Thanks.

Oh.

Aww.

Whoo!

Hey, hey, hey!

No skateboarding, fellas!

You know better than that.

Awesome, Cat.

Hey, way to go, Cat.

Why don't you watch

where you're going?

Don't!

Don't!

Oh, does that bother you?

Get away from me!

Look at me, retard!

Hey!

What did you say?

It's just a joke.

Well, it's not funny.

Come on, Joan.

Sorry we can't all

be suck-ups like you.

Hey, shut up!

Make me!

Maybe I will.

You know what, Emily?

She's not even worth it.

Why don't you shut

your stupid mouth?

Excuse me, ladies. Is

there a problem here?

Yeah. Haylee's

bullying Joan.

That's a lie.

I didn't even touch her.

Joan, is that true?

She called me the "R" word.

Thank you, Joan.

Haylee, Principal's office now.

Now.

Come on.

Okay. Okay, now...

Now you can color two boxes,

and then you have to write who,

what, when, where and why.

Write along this red line,

down to this...

Okay, okay.

Don't rush me.

So, anyway, Haylee's

on probation now.

What's her problem?

I don't know.

She's a piece of trash.

Sorry, guys.

I just...

I just don't like people

messing with my sister.

Thanks for

having her back, Cat.

Of course.

Joan.

Say cheese.

I... I don't like pictures.

One more?

Okay.

Oh, we gotta go.

No! I wanted to interview

more people.

I can drive you home.

Thanks.

Finally found a good one, Cat.

I know.

See you guys.

Bye.

Mom?

In here.

Madam President.

Oh, jeez, Mom.

I'm so proud of you, honey.

And I made a special meal.

Well, I got a special meal.

Santa Fe Supremo

from Antonio's,

your favorite, double guac.

Yay. You're the best.

I thought...

we might even have

one more reason

we might be celebrating.

Oh, it's thin.

I don't think that matters.

I'm too nervous!

I can't open it!

Can you do it?

Okay. Really?

Yeah.

All right.

Wait, wait, wait!

Maybe I should wait for Emily?

It's too late.

You want me to s-stop?

No.

"Dear Catherine Hardy,

"we are pleased to inform

you of your admission

to the Brown/Rhode Island School

of Design Dual Degree program. "

I'm in! I'm in!

"You have also been

selected as a recipient

"of the Dr. Arthur

V. Tassel Scholarship,

"covering the full cost

of tuition,

contingent on

maintaining a 3.3 GPA."

Oh, Cat.

I got a full ride.

I got into Brown/RISD.

Oh, baby. Kitty Cat,

why are you crying?

I'm happy.

It's finally happening.

Oh, Mom.

We've still got the rest

of spring and summer.

We'll spend tons

of time together.

Yeah.

I'm gonna call Em.

Hello.

Did you get it?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

It sounds like you got in.

That's great.

I don't get it.

You have a higher GPA

than I do.

Um, maybe you have,

like, more activities, or...

you know, maybe you

had a better essay.

Oh, Em, don't cry.

I'm sorry. It's...

Don't worry about me, okay?

This is really good for you.

Congratulations.

I'm not going without you.

Don't be stupid.

This is our plan, our dream!

We'll contest it together.

You would do that for me?

We're best friends.

They're not gonna split us up.

You know, come over tonight.

We'll write the

admissions committee.

We'll change their minds.

Mom, is that okay?

Yeah.

Actually, come over now. We

don't have a lot of time.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Jeez, you're taking longer

to proofread it

than we did to write it.

It's missing something.

It's...

What's that quote

Ms. Langran keeps

in the counseling office?

The one, uh,

by Abraham Lincoln?

Yeah, something about let no

feeling of discouragement

set on you or something on you.

I don't know.

I'll look it up.

I feel like if you put

something in the last sentence

that says that you respect

their decision either way,

that they'll like that.

Okay, like what?

Like...

hang on.

Um...

Mom.

What? "Precede"?

Don't you mean "proceed"?

No. How you wish to precede.

Is that not right?

No.

Are you sure?

Why don't you look

that up, too, Emily.

Oh, I don't need to look it up.

It's pretty obviously welcome

to Wrongville, population you.

Hmm. Really?

Okay, okay, here it is.

"Let no feeling of

discouragement prey upon you,

and you are

sure to succeed. "

"... sure to succeed. "

Okay. That's good, right?

This will do it?

This will change their minds?

What do you think, Mom?

I think it's a great letter of appeal,

and I think it's getting late.

Okay.

We have to stay together.

What?

So, what? I'm a loser?

I didn't post that.

Yeah, right. Nice quote.

Em, I swear.

Screw you, Cat.

What's up, guys?

It's Emily.

Leave your name and a message,

and I'll call you back.

Emily, I would never even think

something like that about you.

I don't know what's going on.

Call me back.

The BuddyMe site administrators

just told me

to change my password,

but they can't guarantee

it won't happen again.

Well, you kids put all your

business up on that site,

you're just asking for trouble.

I feel violated.

Ah, it's just a website, honey.

There's more important

things in life.

Yeah, but, Mom,

somebody actually got

onto my hard drive

and pulled that quote.

Emily actually believed I would

say something like that.

Well, pride can get

the best of us.

What do you mean?

Madam President,

need I remind you

that, for the last

two years in a row,

you have beat out

your best friend for office?

On top

of her rejection from Brown?

I mean, she must be...

You know, people do crazy

things when they're jealous.

She's not jealous.

She's my friend.

Who had complete access to your

computer and your BuddyMe account.

She loves me.

Didn't stop her from

accusing you, now, did it?

Mom!

Okay, okay.

Forget I mentioned it.

I'm gonna take

your computer in today

and get one of those

fire thingies installed.

Firewall?

Fire... whatever.

Let's precede

with our firewall plans.

Aren't you a little bit

late for school?

Goodbye.

The BuddyMe site administrators

told me to change my password.

I just hope

it doesn't happen again.

I'm sorry I freaked out.

It's just my stupid temper.

I know you'd never really

write anything like that.

I don't think you're a loser.

I think you're awesome.

I know.

Okay, I'll...

I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I'm so over high school.

Hey, Cat. Nice work.

Definitely put

that site to use.

Ha! For sure. So much better

to be an informed consumer.

What were those idiots

talking about?

I have no idea.

Hey, Jessica.

Hey, liar.

What? You think just because

you're going to Brown

and you're class president,

you can do whatever you want?

You want to tell me

what you're talking about?
